Blackcurrant

Blackcurrant contains 5 times more vitamin C than citrus, as well as vitamin P, group B and A vitamins. It is a rich source of flavonoids, pectins, resveratrol, anthocyanins and minerals. Thanks to skin-beneficial polyphenols and hydrolyzable tannins, the leaf extract is effective in suppressing sebum oxidation, inflammatory reactions and degradation of the skin's own squalene. It is a natural antioxidant, it works against the formation of free radicals and thus protects cells in the body and prevents skin aging. It reduces redness, brightens and flexes the skin.
